Fantastic vibe and feel, very listenable.

What is the plucked instrument in the second track? It reminds me of my lyre. Though I think I also hear santur in there.

Well done! :)

Nice thumbnail. ethereal intro sounds beautiful. Like pure nature or garden of Eden where animals don't have to kill each other to survive 😂.  From pure sound waves and nature based acoustic to manufactured instrument like a banjo, ukulele, Guangzhou, or plucked instrument of some kind. The beginning of civilization. Did you play pt 2 with a real instrument?
Favorite was The Emp pt4. Reminded me of spanish guitar. However, got a little hectic with the frequencies overlapping, but maybe thats just part of the ambience.
Pt5 was a cool drone, everything fits together nicely and flows smoothly.
Nice job!

Really love this submission. Great work on the music. I can feel it. I really liked that first and third songs. Good work with them. You defiantly have a very good style.

Really great music! Individually they fit quite well, but when put back to back they do feel quite different from one another. Nonetheless, you took on a very difficult challenge and produced amazing music!

Very good tracks, amazing executions, getting this variety of sounds so well balanced and such a sense of atmosphere is not for everyone!


Really liked the compositions overall, loved how you finished the EP, but didn not enjoy to much the beginning, I think it didn't give a faithfull sense of time / tech age in regards to the painting.

Not sure if i like track 2 or 4 the most, but I think 4, it has a kind of mysticism to it!

Good job, take care :)

Thx for the feedback :)
Kinda agree that theme wise 1st track is too eletronic to start of, but I couldnt figure out how to make something etherealy gooish to represent the starting point of everything(universe,life etc), so I leaned towards some space-ish synths trying to not give them any structure or strict rythm. I guess I could doubledown and make some white/pink noise ambient sysso stuff, coz point was to make each one of them sound different.

There's a real good work on the sound design part, it creates really deep atmosphere and colors, I liked it ! 

Nice hispanic colors on the 4th one also, and again, well mixed and executed ! (Loved the rythm parts also !)

Good job !

The combination of styles is really cool here! I love track 4, the phrygian dominant stuff is so tasty, and the guitar does a lot for it. Well done!
